In this episode of the Patient From Hell, Samira sits down with Megan-Claire Chase, known in the cancer community as "Warrior Megsy." Megan-Claire shares her deeply personal experience of navigating breast cancer and its aftermath. From managing the physical and emotional toll of treatment to finding new ways to regain a sense of self, Megan-Claire offers a powerful account of resilience, self-advocacy, and the importance of asking for help. Her humor, storytelling skills, and openness bring a refreshing perspective on survivorship, making this an inspiring conversation for anyone facing adversity. Key Highlights: 1. Self-advocacy is critical in healthcare, and sometimes, switching doctors is necessary to ensure your voice is heard. 2. The emotional impact of cancer extends beyond treatment, often manifesting in long-term physical pain and identity challenges. 3. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness—it's a vital step in dealing with the overwhelming aspects of cancer. About our guest: Megan-Claire Chase, also known as Warrior Megsie, is the Breast Cancer Program Director and host of the Our BC Life podcast at SHARE Cancer Support. As an invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) breast cancer survivor and passionate patient advocate based in Atlanta, GA, Megan-Claire is a dedicated champion for the needs of breast cancer patients, particularly in addressing the disparities faced by minoritized communities and those in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) communities. In addition to her pivotal role at SHARE, she serves on Bayer Oncology's Digital Patient Council, is a patient advocate for the Oncology Data Advisor Editorial Board, and recently joined the Worth the Wait Charity advisory board. She also contributes as a writer and advisory board member for Patient Power, amplifying the voices of breast cancer patients. Megan-Claire's advocacy efforts include participating as a panelist on Leveraging Technology to Support Patient-Centered Multidisciplinary Oncologic Care at the 2024 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, co-authoring a podcast and infographic on genetic testing in metastatic breast cancer, collaborating with Pfizer on the Action Guide to Disrupt Inequitable Health Outcomes, and sharing her personal journey on PBS's Beyond Cancer through Stories from the Stage. Her work has been spotlighted in notable publications like The New York Times, People Magazine, Cancer Health, Cancer Today, and CURE Magazine. Beyond her cancer advocacy, Megan-Claire is a versatile voiceover actor, a dedicated social justice activist, and a proud cat mom to Phoebe. My Cancer GPS™ is coming!

Learn more here!⁠ Key Moment: 21 minutes: “Something that people outside of Cancerland may not fully understand is the side effects from the toxic treatments, the side effects from multiple surgeries, the pain that some get fades, they heal, but for others, like moi, I really got the motherload of permanent damage, permanent side effects, effects that happen like a year, two years post cancer. And so I, as I'm talking to you right now, I am in pain. And I often have people say, ‘you don't look like you're in pain.' And I'm like, look, it's not Halloween yet. I don't want to scare you. If I looked how I truly, truly felt on the daily, you would think you're in a scary movie. And so, dealing with multiple types of pain, chronic pain, is something I never, ever thought would be part of my cancer experience."

The idea that a government would rank its citizens based on their moral conduct is probably jarring to most Americans, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss how China's social credit system appears to be a very foreign concept in some ways while also being very familiar in others (01:36).  The guys also consider the concern that has been raised that the scientific breakthroughs which may allow cancer to be diagnosed extremely early could possibly be too much to handle for our psyches (35:16).China's 'social credit' system ranks citizens and punishes them with throttled internet speeds and flight bans if the Communist Party deems them untrustworthy (Business Insider)China's Social Credit System: Speculation vs. Reality (The Diplomat)Social Credit System (Wikipedia)Will We All Soon Live in Cancerland?

Even though an aggressive form of leukemia took his life at age 6, Declan Reagan’s story is about living with cancer, not dying from it. In this episode of Bloodworks 101, his mom Lauren describes Declan’s penchant for pushing limits and breaking rules, and her determination to find a way for him to see the new Jurassic World movie that was set to debut 6 months after he was given just 2 weeks to live. On his side in this impossible quest? A mom on a mission, hope, and Chris Pratt. You’ve never heard a story like this before. Two years after Declan's passing, Lauren took a job at Bloodworks in Vancouver, WA and walked into the office to see faces she remembered from Declan's memorial service. "It's like coming home," she says of her new position working for the local blood center that prolonged her son's life.  In her work today, she continues Declan's legacy, and we are honored to share her story. Producer: Bill Harper

We highlight two angels, dear friends and advocacy trailblazers, Champagne Joy of #Cancerland / Metavivor and Dr. Rebecca Timlin-Scalera of The Cancer Couch Foundation and the importance of their groundbreaking work to fund metastatic breast cancer research. Rather than a straight interview, this is a raw conversation about the sisterhood and support within those touched by cancer and how the bond with survivors of any hardship can be a beautiful bonus.

Cancercellen är en kriminell cell. Det finns många olika sätt att kringgå lagen och bli kriminell Cancerforskaren Georg Klein inledde sin bana på Karolinska Institutet i början av 50-talet. Sedan dess har utvecklingen inom fältet varit enormt. När han började kunde han inte drömma om att man skulle kartlägga mäniskans alla gener.   Men runt om vi världen får fler och fler cancer, förekomsten av cancer kommer att öka med 75 procent fram till 2030 enligt en rapport som forskare nyligen publicerat.   13,2 miljoner kommer att dö i sjukdomen det året enligt en annan beräkning.   Vad är det som gör att cancerns gåta är så svår att knäcka? Vi får följa med in i labbet på Karolinska och träffa forskare som försöker lägga en liten bit av pusslet.     Agneta Klingspor är programledare för Cancerland och har skrivit den självbiografiska boken "Stängt pga hälsosjäl" om sin bröstcancer.

Under alla dessa 18 år har jag återkommande ställt mig frågan. Hur länge får jag leva? Rött kött kan orsaka cancer. Dubbdäckspartiklar kan orsaka cancer. Solarier kan orsaka cancer. Ibland känns det som om hela världen är hotad av stora C.   Samtidigt är det många fler som överlever cancersjukdomar idag än för trettio år sedan. Många lever länge med sin cancer. Britt Löfgren har levt med sin i 18 år, den har blivit en del av livet och vardagen.  Men risken för nya negativa besked finns hela tiden där.   Vi får också höra om hur den svenska naturromantiken får svenska cancerpatienter att få sin andliga tröst från skogen, snarare än kyrkan.

Var och en som är född till världen har ett dubbelt medborgaskap, ett i de friskas rike och ett i de sjukas. Så skrev den amerikanska författaren Susan Sontag i essän Sjukdom som metafor. 400 000 människor i Sverige har eller har haft cancer. Det finns patientföreningar för nästan varje cancerform och hundratals cancerbloggar. Och på teve kan man följa komediserien The big C - om en kvinna vars liv ställs på ända efter en cancerdiagnos. Men för 25 år sen då Maria-Pia Boethius fick cancer, fanns inget av detta. Så hon skrev själv boken Den skalliga damen.         Vad betyder patientföreningar och bloggar? Är det bara till stöd?  Och vad händer om eldssjälen dör?   I den andra delen av programserien Cancerland besöker vi också stödföreningen Prostatabröderna som försöker sprida information och egna erfarenheter kring sjukdomen till hjälp för många som känner ångest och skräck när de plötslig känner en förhårdnad mellan benen. Föreningen höll på att lägga ner när grundaren Lasse Söderholm dog förra året. Men fortfarande kan man se honom i Prostatabrödernas tv-sändningar.  Agneta Klingspor är programledare för Cancerland och har skrivit den självbiografiska boken "Stängt pga hälsosjäl" om sin bröstcancer.   Om du vill prata med någon om din eller en närståendes sjukdom kan du kontakta:

- De där punkterna, samlade tätt, vad betyder de? frågar jag efter en stund. Läkaren lyfter instrumentet från bröstet en millimeter och ner igen. - Kan du inte säga? Du vet ju! Läkaren lägger undan instrumentet och tittar på mig. - Det lutar åt cancer. Idag finns det över 400 000 människor i Sverige som är eller har varit medborgare i Cancerland. En av dem är författaren Agneta Klingspor som fick bröstcancer 2008 och skrev om den i boken ”Stängt pga hälsosjäl”. Hur reagerade hon efter att hon fick höra ”det lutar åt cancer”?   Agneta Klingspor är programledare för Cancerland som handlar om sjukdomarnas sjukdom, hur man kämpat mot den i historien och hur man gör det idag. Hur den gått från att vara skambelagd till att vara huvudroller i komedier. Samtidigt som den är ett hot vi får höra om i larmrapport efter larmrapport, överlever fler. I seriens första av fyra delar träffar vi människor som kämpar och kämpat. Vi frågar oss – vad pågår i Cancerland?   Ett cancerbesked förändrar livet för dem som för höra det – och de flesta minns precis varje ord som uttalades i rummet. Hur är det att ge ett sånt besked? Vilka misstag kan man göra?   Läkaren Gunilla Enblad har i perioder gett upp till sju cancerbesked varje dag – och hon vill ha bort skräckstämpel kring ordet cancer.   Docent Gunnar Birgegård har många års erfarenhet av beskedssamtal. Han berättar om de dåliga samtalen och minns tillbaka till när han själv gjorde ett ödesdigert misstag.     Reporter och producent för Cancerland är Marcus Morey-Halldin.   Om du vill prata med någon om din eller en närståendes sjukdom kan du kontakta:
